VINTAGE INSPIRATION FRIDAY

WELCOME to "Vintage Inspiration Friday"

I would like to thank Debra at Common Ground for hosting the party. For the month of December all that wants to participate, will share what inspires them for the holiday. Be sure to go on over for a visit, you just may find something that inpires you.

I am having a bad back last few days, if not for that I would be starting my decorating. Here are some inexpensive items I purchased last week to use in some decorating ideas I have. Stay tuned!!!

The feathers I will be using to dress my dress form for the holiday. You can see more of that in this post.

The little bags I purchased at The Christmas Tree Shop for $1.00 each. I will be stuffing the bags with dried items, (see items below) and other fun picks. I will be doing one last craft show next Saturday, may bring a couple along. I will also be using the tissue paper (shredded) in the fabric bags and in a large nest I have on my coffee table.I will be making a small holiday nest with the vine wreaths. I found the music notes cloth ribbon at JoAnn's last week. I purchased the only two rolls left.

The cloth candycanes I also purchased, they were actually on a garland. I didn't care for it so I took them off of that and embellished with my own vintage lace and trims. I will use these in the large nest, typically like ornies.

I also plan on using fresh greenery tucked in here and there.

The wine tubes here were 40% off, about $2.00 each. I plan on collaging them with antique sheet music and filling them with dried items, a pick or two and finishing off with the music note ribbon.

These are some of the dried items I will be using. I got these over at my friend (Barb) house.
The other day I was visiting some blogs that offer free vintage images. When I saw this one I fell in love.

You have some great things to decorate with for Christmas. I hope you feel better soon. I would love for you to join my Holiday Decor party that starts on 12/15. I am looking forward to seeing all your decorations.Hugs, Sherryps: Thanks for the kind comment on my Gratitude Journal post
